Chapter 34: Hidden Mission
Gamma, with the knowledge of the level two zombies' existence, felt an urgent need to take action. He knew that they had to act swiftly and decisively to address this new and unexpected threat.
He wasted no time and made a direct call, summoning Alpha for a mission. Alpha, still wearing a furrowed brow, arrived with a perplexed expression on his face, his previous mission having ended in failure. He inquired, "What is it?"
Gamma leaned in, his tone serious, and said, "Alpha, I've just discovered the presence of level 2 zombies."
Alpha's eyes widened in surprise. "Level 2 zombies?" he repeated, his voice laced with disbelief.
Gamma nodded, confirming, "Yes, level 2 zombies."
The shock in Alpha's expression began to give way to a growing realization. "But why are you calling them zombies?" he asked, puzzled by the plural form.
Gamma explained, "Because there are two level 2 zombies."
Alpha's disbelief deepened. "How can that be? They've evolved so quickly. I'm only at level 1.5!"
Gamma shared Alpha's astonishment but remained focused on the task at hand. He emphasized, "Alpha, we need you to capture at least one of them."
Alpha's incredulity was evident in his words as he exclaimed, "Are you crazy? Those are level 2 zombies!"
Gamma, recognizing the need for a quick response to the level two zombies, attempted to ease Alpha's apprehension. He said in a reassuring tone, "Don't worry, I have information that both zombies are currently engaged in a fight. You can capture them after their battle concludes."
Alpha, understanding the plan, simply nodded. His concern dissipated, and he inquired, "So, who can I bring with me?"
Gamma swiftly provided a list, naming the team members Alpha could take along. He replied, "You can bring Agents 90, 80, and 70."
Alpha accepted the choice without hesitation. "Good," he acknowledged. He was eager to get started. "When do we leave?"
Gamma, always one to act promptly, answered, "Right now. I've already informed the agents to prepare."
In the quiet aftermath of the confrontation, a mechanical voice echoed in the air. The system's announcement punctuated the stillness.

Zorvax's surprise was evident, and his eyes widened as he took in the unexpected words. The announcement had caught him off guard.
He couldn't help but compare it to his previous encounter with the zombie warrior when such an acknowledgement had eluded him. He speculated aloud, "It seems that the system appeared because I killed the zombie alone this time."
As he pondered this, another notification promptly appeared, illuminating the screen with its presence.

Zorvax's shock was palpable. He never anticipated that he had fulfilled a hidden mission, a revelation that left him intrigued and eager to discover the rewards. "I wonder what kind of function has been added," he mused, his curiosity piqued.
